Speck gets a New Toy

It's all the rage..... what do u think ?

Aunt Maria comes to visit.

Speck was very excited to finally meet her Aunt Maria in person this weekend. Aunt Maria, decided to come down to Houston and spend some quality time with Speck. It was a blast to meet her and we hope that she (aunt maria that is) will come visit us again.

For this event, Speck also got to experience her first restaurant trip ever on August 25th 2006. Yes, yes, we realize it's a bit late to start taking her, as most people start taking 2 week old babies to restaurants, but we chose to wait till she was older, so the sights and sounds would mean something to her. Speck's first night out on the town was at Cantina Laredo. There was music and Speck seemed to enjoy it and yes there was even dancing.

More SOCKS ....

A while back Speck was sent a pair of Steelers Socks from her Aunt Maria and Uncle Billy. Well this time Aunt Maria bought some PINK Phillies socks for Speck. And slowly but surely the education begins. They are more for Mom Mom Brenda, so now we have teams from Pittsburgh and Philadelphia. I guess Mommy could get some Astros socks to be fair. TeeHee.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY

Speck and Mommy

Speck says her first "word"

Could this be?

Well we have consulted a few and technically we can make this announcement.

Yes Speck did say her first word loud and clear and has since repeated it several times. This news was delivered to us by Grandma Nancy who was the first to hear the "word" spoken. The word is "Aagoo". Once the report of the "word" came in we of course verified it's use. Now we have key professionals and scientists trying to decipher what the word actually means but it's said with a smile in response to other words spoken to Speck. So our prelimenary thoughts are it means something pleasant and positive. We will update the blog with more information about this first "word" as it comes in.

Speck truely is a wonder, ain't she ?

Early morning smiles

Taken by the wonder we call Speck

Ariel turns 2 months old

So today the princess of the cohen castle turned 2 months old. Mommy is still in awe of this wonder that has made life complete. Everyday with Speck is a day mommy will cherish forever. Thank you, whomever you are, for letting Speck come into our lives.

And now to celebrate the 2 months we had a.......ding ding ding... you guessed right a photo shoot. We need to find other backgrounds but for now our papasan swing will have to do :)

Ariel's 2 month checkup

All was well at Speck's two month checkup today. Nurse Sally weighed and measured her and said she is right on track for her age. Ariel is in the 25th percentile for her weight and the 75th percentile for her height, (same as before). We've decided Speck is gonna turn out to be a tall and skinny kid if she continues in this growth pattern. Dr Barry said Speck looks very healthy and all her past test results have come in and look good.

This trip was a very traumatic one for little Speck as she got her first round of shots/vaccinations. 4 huge injections, 2 in each thigh, and it's a good thing she won't remember this. Even mommy couldn't watch the nurse poking Speck with those long needles.

Tomorrow Speck turns 2 months old. OMG where has the time gone. Next doc's visit is October 9th, 2006 (4 month).
